There was a problem with the hosting that caused the site to be down for a number of days. As such I was not able to upload the stats to the SQL server as well. In a wonderful domino effect that caused all of the rating and renown gains to be wrong (based off of the 18th instead of the day before). So when I uploaded all of the backlog of data today I had to also write a script to go through and correct the bad data.

Hopefully everything is working now, but I have no guarantees. Anything you see wrong point it out and I will look into it. Also I have a dev key for the new data.lotro API so when I get around to it the individual player pages will show more information about the character (gear, stats, etc...)

Why should I delete data?

Perhaps I can modify it to leave inactive players off of the boards but let them show up in searches. I dunno ... I just don't like the idea of deleting data even though someone deleted their character. I want the site to act as a history.

As for transfers ... yea they aren't easy to deal with. I would have to every day go through every active player (like 150,000 of them) and check that against the full leaderboard scrape to see if they are still showing up. You can see how it gets unfeasible.

Erasmus354 are you using the api? or screen scrape? it is a good idea not to delete data unless you know the data is corrupt in some way, if you are loading the data into a DB you can add a Boolean field to say whether the row is visible or not.

also the trasfers isnt that difficult if you write some simple logic or do a join then compare then add a true to the booloean field through an insert into...
